I've had an unusual no start situation before and it may pay you to check if the distributor hasn't jumped out of its drive on the oil pump. There is a spring between the distributor drive on the oil pump and the distributor shaft that over time causes wear between the distributor shaft and the distributor housing causing the drive to move apart. Eventually the drive may just hop out of the oil pump end of the drive. If there is end play in the distributor shaft or the distributor isn't seated completely in it's drive housing you may jump time and stop. I fixed mine with an appropriately sized flat washer behind the distributor drive end and a close look at the seating of the distributor in the housing.
